College is great — but sometimes it really sucks.

7 Things I Hate About You (College)
Molly Edmondson

As most of y'all know, I LOVE college. It's my favorite season of life I've had and honestly I think I've thrived. College is just my place.

But there are some drawbacks to it. I've had to make a lot of adjustments in my life. People always try to cover up the bad aspects of their lives, but why bother? So here are the worst parts of college to me.

1. Shower Shoes

I, for one, love a good shower, but having to wear shoes while doing it is killing me.

2. Lack of Sleep

From football games to parties to studying, I feel like I never sleep anymore. 5 hours of sleep is a good night for me currently.

3. Lack of Home-Cooked Meals

Now my mom cooks about five meals that I absolutely love. My sorority makes great food but there is nothing like my mom's cooking.

4. Laundry

I just can't commit to sitting by my laundry for two hours. So currently, my laundry gets done about every three weeks instead of three times a week at home.

5. No Privacy

From roommates to people always busting into your room, there is never any alone time. Sometimes all I want is to escape for the day and not speak to anyone.

6. School Work

I did a ton of homework in high school, but nowhere near as much as here. I barely have time for anything else.

And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do...

7. You make me love you.

College, for as many things I don't like about you, there are a million more that I do love. You have my heart.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
